Welcome from the swamps of South Louisiana.

My sister just rebuilt the air/water pump on her Genie and there are other alternatives, so ask away.

Hey Gina:
Take the wheels to the stable and put them on my machine one at a time.
Take off my 80 grit and replace with one of your wheels, check and repeat.

OR...before you go to my house-put the old wheels back on and see if it vibrates.  If not, check the new wheels one at a time.

I do like the swap sides suggestion, though.

I will be back in town Thursday.

Wow, Dave! 
I am not familiar with that one....very pretty.

I have both a tile saw and a Lil Trimmer lapidary saw. use the Lil Trimmer with a super yhin lapidary blade to cut the good stuff.  I use the tile more though.  I put a lapidary blade on it.

I have used it inside during the winter by setting it up in the walk in shower-turn the saw around so the spray hits the shower wall and pull the rock towards you to cut...in fact, I always cut from the back of the saw, so I don't get wet.

I struggled to teach myself to polish rocks and create cabs.  It wasn't until I found a local rock club to help me along that I felt comfortable.

You don't state your location.  There may be someone that could mentor you if no club is near.

Nice Dave.
I really like the long narrow shape.  I have some similar preforms ready to go.
